Living History Resources

About Our Living History Resources

Each year, The Preservation Collaborative, Inc. participates in a number of living history events across the region. We've made a number of friends who make possible some of our events. These hard working volunteers celebrate New England's rich heritage. By telling history and fun and informative ways, we are able to bring the past to life for all ages and interests.

Over time, we have amassed quite a collection of historical information. Because we reenact for you, we share this so you can bring history home. In the periods we reenact, events were not felt or faught from far away. By actively learning from the past, you can better connect with it. From tasting history to learning more about clothing we wear, we've included a range of interesting items to explore. If we missed something, let us know! We're always looking to add new content.
